hyperdulia again Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Ash called Jon a dumbass the other day. She picked it up from my family...oops.
Anna Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) Ashley is probably quite well behaved and doesn't need it, but for those kids who make life miserable for everyone around them in public, they should be taught that there will be negative consequences for behaving thusly. I'm not talking beatings; but something to make them realize that bad behavior will reap fruits later. Ooooops. (hee hee) I posted that while you were posting your message, Hyper! Well, was Jon being a dumbass? Edited July 22, 2003 by Anna
IcePrincessKRS Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I'm very well behaved in public. I learned my lesson.
hyperdulia again Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Ooooops. (hee hee) I posted that while you were posting your message, Hyper! Well, was Jon being a dumbass? I think it was an apt description. I told him to wash the hen I was cooking that night and he decided it'd be more fun to make it dance---infecting my counter with salmanilla (sp?) in the process i'm sure.
Anna Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Was he singing, "And a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and clap your hands" *clap, clap, clap, clap*?
hyperdulia again Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) No singing just dancing. If he'd been singing I would've called him "that word". Edited July 22, 2003 by hyperdulia again
Anna Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Well, at least she was using it in the proper context... And yes, my Katie always behaves herself in public! It didn't take very many spankings, either. (She was a fast learner.)
Mary's Knight, La Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 My fiance's mom told me to try this when I couldnt sleep and it works for me. when it's obvious she's not in need of water or the toilet just ask her to pray the following with you: Dear, Jesus please give me sweet sweet dreams. works inside of 30 min for me ;-)
littleflower+JMJ Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 you know whats sad? when doctors prescribe medicine and the parents give it to the kids and it like makes them sluggish, slow and their not themselves? my sister use to babysit for a kid to took that medicine, the father would give it to him but the grandmother always refused to give that "evil" medicine to him, once he took it, he just sat there and stared into space....i think that is soo wrong....i always felt there was something wrogn with using it, and it always irked me to think about what damage this kid might have.....i always had a bad feeling about it... who can do that to a kid?
Carrie Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 When I was a kid, my dad use to give me "the look". I try the same thing with my daughter and she laughs at me and calls me a fat head. My dad used to give me a look too. It usually worked. If not, he'd just say my name in this deep voice that meant I was gonna be in trouble. Tha always worked cuz I knew that voice meant a grounding was coming. My dad never had to spank me. I still can't figure out how he disciplined all of us with just a look and his voice.

jasJis Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 The Benadryl on planes is for motion sickness, not to drug them. It's safer than dramamine. The antihistamine dries up some of the fluid in the ear. We get our balance from how we sense the fluid in our ears. When our ears don't agree with our eyes or body sensation, we get dizzy and that causes 'motion sickness'. Anbesol is what we gave our kids for teething. I totally disagree with giving kids drugs or alcohol to 'calm them'. That is teaching your kids to turn to drugs for behavioral issues instead of dealing with them. I'd rather see a kid get spanked then drugged, though ignoring bad behavior is worse.
Kilroy the Ninja Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Ok, I don't know if I should be worried or not.... But... the baby Ninja Crusdaer "knows" what the baby Tylenol bottle looks like. We affectionatly refer to it as "Baby Crack". We're bad. We should be punished... In fact, he will calm down immediately as soon as he sees the bottle. But we don't give it to him everyday I swear!! In fact, it's been almost a week since the last time he had it, but I'm willing to bet part and parcel that if he was upset with teething pain all we'd have to do is pull it out of the diaper bag and voila, insta calm.... Oh, and on the rare occassion that I actually get frustrated with him and raise my voice (I'm not perfect...WHAT an understatement!!!!) usually it's only to say his name, just REALLY loud (and not right in his ear I swear!), he stops what he's doing, looks at me and then just breaks into laughter. How can you be mad at that?
Azriel Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 My best friend used to keep a tiny bottle (airplane) size of Jack Daniels in the diaper bag for teething pain. Heck, anbesol and orajel are mostly alcohol anyway.
Carrie Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Anbesol is some strong stuff. One of my friends decided she wanted to try some, only she slathered it on her tongue and lips! Her tongue and lips went numb and she couldn't help but drool for awhile. Oh man, it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me.

My parents never "drugged" us up like that, and I don't plan to with my child(ren) either. I'm a firm believer in "sometimes a spanking is necessary." Thats not to say I'm going to crack out the whip every time my kid misbehaves, but sometimes a spanking is called for.
Lil Red Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Benadryl for kids is really scary. A daycare provider and her worker were just charged in my city for manslaughter because they gave some Benadryl to a baby and the baby died. They said they did it because the baby never stopped crying. Sad.
